DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
EMBODIMENT
s With initial reference to Figure 1, the exhaust cooling system of the present invention is preferably incorporated into a cooking appliance generally indicated at 2. As shown, cooking appliance 2 takes the form of a free-standing gas range unit. Range 2 includes a cabinet 4 having a front panel portion 5, opposing side panel portions 6, a bottom portion 7, io a range top 8, and a main back panel 9. Within the scope of the invention, range top 8 can take on various forms. In the preferred embodiment shown, range top 8 is provided with various gas burner elements 1 I-14 and associated burner grates IS-I8. Cabinet 4 further includes a front control surface 20. Preferably, control surface 20 i s supports a plurality of control knobs 21-24 for controlling the activation/de-activation of gas burners 11-14 respectively. Furthermore, cabinet 4 includes an upstanding control panel 30 arranged at an upper rear portion 31 of cabinet 4. In the embodiment shown, control panel 30 includes a central control and display unit, generally indicated at 35, for ao use in controlling a first or upper oven 40 and a second or lower oven 41.
In the preferred embodiment, upper oven 40 includes a respective first or upper oven cavity 45 and, similarly, lower oven 41 includes a respective second or lower oven cavity 46. In accordance with the present invention, oven cavities 45 and 46 are preferably formed of metal and coated with a heat resistant material, such as porcelain. In a manner known in the art, upper oven 40 has associated therewith a door 50 which can be pivoted by means of a handle 53. Door 50 preferably includes a window 55 for viewing the contents of upper oven cavity 45. In a sinular s manner, lower oven 41 has associated therewith a door 60, a handle 63 and a window 65.
In a manner Down in the art, range 2 is adapted to be mounted upon a supporting surface, such as a kitchen floor or the like. More specifically, a plurality of leg members, two of which are indicated in to Figures 1 and 2 at 125 and 126, extend from botl:om portion 7 at front and rear portions of cabinet 4, along side panel 6. DiE course, corresponding leg members 125 and 126 are also provided on tlae opposing side of range 2. In any event, the various leg members 125 and 126 are preferably vertically adjustable to also act as levelers for range 2. Such type of leg 1 s leveler arrangements are widely known in the ari: of appliances, including both ranges and refrigerators such that the leveling function of leg members 125 and 126 does not form part of the present invention.
Instead, the invention is actually directed to the construction and arrangement of a louvered burner baffle and ignlter arrangement which is ao generally indicated in Figure 1 at 1 SO in connection with oven cavity 46 as will be more fully discussed below.
As indicated in Figures 1 and 2, burner baffle and igniter arrangement 150 includes a heat dispersing burner baffle 155 which generally takes the form of a flattened, V-shaped metal plate so as to as define side panels 157 and 15~. baffle 155 extends adjacent an upper wall 160 of oven cavity 46 and has arranged thereunder a central, fore-to-s aft extending gas burner element 165. As the construction and operation of gas burner element 165, which obviously defines a broiler element for oven cavity 46, is known in the art and does not form part of the present invention, it will not be discussed in detail here. However, it should be s recognized that burner element 165 is adapted to receive a flow of gas, either natural gas or propane, which is mixed with a supply of air from within oven cavity 46 for combustion purposes.
In order to ignite the combustion mixture, an igniter I7S is employed. As shown, igniter 175 is mounted to an underside 178 of io panel I58, adjacent burner element 165. Igniter 175 preferably constitutes a hot element-type gas igniter known in the art. More specifically, igniter 175 includes an housing 180, a shield 185 and an ignition element 190. Certainly, the positioning of igniter 17S will affect the flow of air for combustion purposes, particularly if igniter 175 is is mounted horizontally. In accordance with the present invention, at least one opening 200 is formed above igniter 175 in panel 1 S8 of baffle 1 S5.
With this arrangement, opening 200 will provide for additional airflow for combustion purposes.
Z'he general inclusion of opening 200 presents a potential problem ao concerning the crazing, and possible subsequent chipping, of the porcelain or other heat resistant coating provided in oven cavity 46. To address this concern, the present invention advantageously provides a cover, which is preferably constituted by a louver 210 formed in panel 158 of baffle 155, over opening 200. With this arrangement, an potential as crazing area is shifted away from the combustioru air flowing through opening 200. More specifically, not only is the potential area for crazing significantly reduced, but louver 210 is positioned in such a manner so as to block a vertical path through opening 20Q in the event that any chips should develop. Therefore, louver 210 advantageously allows ample ventilation, moves the potential crazing zone essentially to a position over s burner element 165 and away from a path where chips could drop into food, and blocks the path of any porcelain particles directly over igniter 175.
Although described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it should be readily understood that various changes and/or io modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the spirit thereof. For instance, although an integral louver is employed in the most preferred embodiment of the invention, other cover structures could also be employed, such as a separate member attached to the baffle.
In addition, although a single fore-to-aft extending louver is preferably is employed, multiple louver, laterally extending o:r otherwise, could also be utilized. In general, the invention is only intended to be limited by the scope of the following claims.
Typically, one burner element is arranged at the bottom of the oven cavity, perhaps under a false bottom, and another burner element is arranged atop the oven cavity, particularly for broiling purposes.
Generally, a baffle plate is utilized to disperse the heat generated in is connection with operation of the burner element. Often times, the oven cavity is coated with a heat resistant material, such as porcelain.
In order to initiate combustion of gases delivered to one or more of the burner elements, an igniter is typically mounted adjacent the burner element.

the igniter, to craze and chip. The porcelain that chips can actually fall down into the oven cavity, perhaps even into food being cooked therein.
Obviously, the need for adequate combustion air must be addressed, along with the potential for any falling of porcelain chips.
to With respect to the latter, once such approach concerns employing an aluminized top panel within a porcelain coated oven cavity to protect the coating. Regardless of this known prior art, there still exists a need in the art for an arrangement which enhances the combustion of gas for a burner element having an associated baffle in a coated coven cavity, minimizes is the potential for crazing of the coating material, and prevents any coating material from falling into food placed in the oven cavity.
